i feel like ed boon has become the new Disney...and Disney did a John Hammond on Star Wars (jurassic Park reference)...they didn't put any effort into acquiring what they had...they stuck their name...their label on something and are selling it. both of them are twisting, corrupting and contorting a beautiful creation into something unrecognisable. MK used to be so legend for not only its fighting and violence but its story and morals...and most of these have been twisted. much like star wars i should add. did anyone know MK was once a theatre production across the USA early on...back in its best years...long before Netherealm took control...and now look what they've turned it into. the sad thing is there are gamers out there ranting about how good MK 11 is when they know underneath it sucks...thye just buy it and play it anyway because they want a new MK...so they'll take the bile if that means getting it...

@@onewingedangxl Why? Because Infinite was a miss? Yeah, that's still 3 hits and 1 miss on that series. Street Fighter? Besides microtransaction and the seasonal support, that game is fine gameplay wise. Stop acting like series are over because of one big misstep when they've had good hits in the past. Especially when Capcom has been hitting all the ballparks lately from MonHun World to RE2make to DMCV.

Not really, the last couple games have literally been the same boring, oversimplified fighting mechanics with one button combos that insta kill enemies with half their health left... These games are shit now, the only thing separating this one from the last is a few higher res textures and a new shitty storyline.. I'm pissed I wasted 60 bucks on this shit.
